Don't Make Promises

Singer - Tim Hardin

It seems the songs we're singing
Are all about tomorrow
Tunes of promises that you can't keep

Every moment bringing
A love I can only borrow
You're telling me lies in your sleep

Do you think I'm not aware
Of what you're saying
Or why you're saying it?

Is it hard to keep me where
You want me staying?
Don't go on betraying

Don't make promises
That you can't keep

We had a chance to find it
Our time was now or never
You promised me things that I need

But then the things behind it
Took away the chance forever
You're telling me lies in your sleep

Do you think I'm not aware
Of what you're saying
Or why you're saying it?

Is it hard to keep me where
You want me staying?
Don't go on betraying

Don't make promises
That you can't keep

Don't make promises
That you can't keep

Wikipedia states:

"Don’t Make Promises" was the first track on Tim Hardin's debut album Tim Hardin 1, released in 1966. The song, along with "Reason to Believe," was one of the two major songwriting hits from the album, with more than a dozen cover versions having been recorded following its release. British radio presenter and writer Charlie Gillett noted the song's ability to achieve "the elusive balance between personal miseries and universal sufferings," while author Mark Brend praised the song's "fragile pop sensibilities" and how it contrasted with the "swaggering" R&B of album track "Ain't Gonna Do Without."

James Timothy Hardin (December 23, 1941 – December 29, 1980) was an American folk musician and composer. He wrote the Top 40 hit "If I Were a Carpenter", covered by, among others, Bobby Darin, Joan Baez, Johnny Cash, The Four Tops, Robert Plant, and Johnny Rivers; his song "Reason to Believe" has also been covered by many artists, notably Rod Stewart (who had a chart hit with the song), Neil Young, and The Carpenters. Hardin is also known for his own recording career. Hardin was born in Eugene, Oregon and attended South Eugene High School. He dropped out of high school at age 18 to join the Marine Corps.
